    Chain adjusters don't look aligned properly - have it realigned. 1st notch on the right vs. 3rd on the left.

    The default AFR Screw setting is 2.0 turns out, though one might set it slightly richer with 2.25-2.5 turns out. But am still running on stock set-up, so ask someone who have worked with the carb to help you with an optimum AFR Setting.

    Is it possible for us to find the CO% without visiting the SVC ? Like say visiting a centre that does pollution checks for vehicles.

    My GS vibrates too - unusually near 4500 rpm ! But this is occasional. So I too will wait what others suggest.

    NEED HELP : Carb Tuning And Ride Quality Issues

    After recent service from SSC I am facing mileage and ride quality issues with small hiccups and vibrations in all gears but they are noticeable to me.
    While cleaning the carb SSC guys have also disturbed the golden screw of the carb and it was returning 38KMPL only instead of 61 KMPL (before service).
    SO I decided to tune it myself.

    After going through a post by MSN1 in this thread I tried to retune my carb with 3.25-3.3 turns from tight position and now it's returning 50 KMPL. Still I am not happy with the same as VIBRATIONS and small hiccups are prevailing and I wish I could achieve my old mileage figures of 61KMPL.

    Following changes were made in last service:
    1. Old air filter was replaced with new one after 41,500 KM.
    2. New spark plug replacement after 10,000 KM
    3. Carb cleaning for the 1st time (41,500 KM)
    4. Old chain and sprocket were replaced with Gixxer's new chain and sprocket (after 20,000 KM)


    I am always using EXTRA PREMIUM oil from Govt. owned Indian Oil Petrol bunk, so I can't doubt about any change in fuel quality.

    I would like to request my fellow Sr. members in this group to help me out for removing the vibrations and hiccups / mileage issues which popped in after recent service.

    Hi Guys,
    Changed stock rear tyre of my gs after 40k. Stock tyre was still good to for another 10k kms but due to the safety reasons changed it. I had couple of experiences of jet skiing on slushy road due to the stock tyre. Also it couldn't stop bike on lose soil surfaces, rear simply locks on slight braking force.

    Lets see how new tyre ceat zoom 100/90- 18 performs. Looks great by design and feels like a soft compound by nail test. Pls do share your review if anyone of us has same tyre on their gs.

    But what advantage will that have?

    Each maker has their unique way of making their brake and drive train layout.
    Most of the Indian bikes have a left side drain chain config, however most italian and non-jap bikes have right sided layout. Does that mean, the bike will pull to a side?
    The design interest of each maker is unique in their own ways.
    Suzuki's brakes are made by a company called Tokico, Japan.
    TVS-Suzuki introduced their first disc brake model, the TVS-Suzuki Fiero and the Tokico design disc brakes were locally produced in india by M/S TVS Girling aka Brakes India Ltd.
    TVS continued their left side disc approach after the JV broke on the TVS Fiero and Fiero F2.
    later they changed their interest to right side disc from the days of the Victor GLX 125. SO did the Apache and RTR.
    Suzuki is now independent. The Suzuki Zues and GS150 is based on their GS platform sold abroad. All have Tokico made Left side disc. So to locally produce them, the design was outsourced to Pricol India Ltd.
    There is no technical advantage of having a right sided disc or vice versa.
    Hyosung is a Suzuki partnered company and hence chose the left side disc approach. Yamaha and Honda always make right side disc configs.

    Cheers,
    Joel

    Hello RaviRaj123,

    I was doing some calculations using this website,

    http://clubsuzuki125.com.ar/calculadoras/index.php (just load GS150R and try different tyre size combinations if you're interested)

    and found rear tyre change to 120/90 18" should not affect your top speed--of course, a wider tyre should--. I can only think of your new tyre being a bit heavier than stock and the compound softer (I am guessing the new compound is indeed softer?), which should increase friction against the road. Now, that is a great thing to improve grip!

    BTW, congrats on your mod, it looks pretty good. Do you happen to have more pics straight from the rear of your GS?

    Cheers,

    Gilbert

    Thanks!
    Just wanted to make sure.
    As I mentioned in my post, some mechanics blindly make assumptions

    Some mechanics blindly say Unicorn chain/sprocket can be used on a Hunk, but Hunk's front sprocket is 14T while Unicorn's is 15T. Using Uni's 15T sprocket will kill the quick pickup/acceleration of Hunk.
    Just my two cents.

    EDIT: What remains is the chain length (as the link-pitch will differ based on sprocket teeth count and size)

    Fairly new feeling, my beast is back to it's smoothness and pickup without any sound or roughness.

    I hope this will help all fellow GS 150R owners to resolve their chain related issues

    Suzuki GS150R Chain - Sprocket Issue And Permanent Solution

    Hello Friends finally I have got solution to the GS150R chain problems.


    My bike's overview:
    Kept with atmost care with regular service at Saboo Suzuki Indira Park (every 2600 Km) under personal observation. Even after 6.7 years it's as shiny and smooth as new.

    Issues:
    Frequent chain loosening and hitting sound in between riding, even after multiple chain tightening and alingnment it was not resolved. The chain was 21K KMs old and my bike has completed 41500KM overall.

    Solution:
    My Suzuki service center head mechanic suggested me to replace the same with Gixxer sprockets and chain for my 2008-09 model Suzuki GS150R as it's a direct fit for the same without any issues. According to him it would last even longer than Gixxer as it would be under cover in our GS150R.

    Even I am looking forward to the brand of tyre as i couldnt find any.

    Now that GS is stopped officially as it is removed from the website. I bought my bike last year and i would be keeping it for the next 10 years for sure. I kept my Caliber for more than 10 years- exactly 11 years. You guys think it is realistically possible to keep GS for the next 10 years, without any spare part issues or I might have to change before that?
